Henry Makow wrote in his Memorial Day, 5/30/21 article, War Dead are Victims, Not Heroes that Antony Sutton equated communism and capitalism:
“Capitalism and Communism are identical,” Sutton says, a truth we are discovering today, to our consternation.
But Sutton actually said he’s talking about the “top level” players only in his videotaped interview:
SUTTON: Armand Hammer is a very interesting example. Armand Hammer received the first foreign concession in 1922 [I assume foreign meaning concession to do business with the Soviet Union] in asbestos in the Ural Mountains—and he also conducted for the Soviets a number of other enterprises, right down to pens and pencil manufacturing, for example.
But Armand Hammer is interesting because his father—although Armand Hammer today is chairman of Occidental Petroleum Corporation—his father was Julius Hammer, who in 1919 was Secretary General of the Communist Party of the USA, which emphasizes the arguments I made throughout my books: that at the top level, there’s no difference between your top communists and your top capitalists, they interlink…
INTERVIEWER [Stan Montieth]: So it’s basically a power grab?
SUTTON: It’s a power grab, an international power grab.
